Today on the blog, I wanted to share a little more about the core values of Violet Floral Designs. This last week of June (Pride Month) also happens to be American Flowers Week, so it feels like a very appropriate time! So, if you will, here is our little manifesto:
VINTAGE VIBES:
While the floral designs for your wedding should feel unique and fresh, we want everything that goes out the door to feel timeless and romantic, too. Whether it’s a creamy garden rose that’s opening perfectly, a piece of lace from your mother’s wedding dress wrapped around your bouquet, a collection of amber glass bud vases, or a hint of antique lavender; we are all about those hints of timelessness. Our favorite vintage-y detail? A modern take on the cascading bridal bouquet.
LOVE FOR ALL:
Violet Floral Designs gladly works with and embraces all couples, and discrimination of any kind is not a thing around here. Weddings are for everyone who wants them, and you are welcomed and celebrated! This means we’re committed to making sure this business serves all couples well. It also means we only choose to participate in styled + editorial shoots which portray diverse couples and include wedding vendors with diverse backgrounds. (If you want to know why this is so important to us, please ask–happy to talk about it more!)
LOCAL BLOOMS:
Around here we love local flowers and local farms, and believe a commitment to sourcing as many flowers as possible from local growers is crucial to the future of cut flowers. So far in 2019, 47% of the flowers purchased for our designs were grown locally in Maryland, and we hope to grow that number in the future! And committing to stretch and educate ourselves on more sustainable floristry practices is a big part of this, too. We’re committing to using sustainable, reusable design tools, avoiding environmentally-unfriendly floral foam, and promoting the use and reuse of rental items at weddings.
Our core values are the heart of our business, and it’s important to us to serve our clients, our community, and our environment with integrity. We’d love to share more with you about why these values are important to us–feel free to reach out at violetfloraldesigns@gmail.com if you’d like to learn more about what we do and why. And if you have a wedding coming up, we’d love to talk to you! Find our inquiry form for weddings here.
Much love–
